Now is the time for Real Change ~ Peace for Iraq!
Now is a time of new beginnings — a time of possibilities for real change. However, we know that real change only comes as the people inform and pressure the government to do the right thing: Establish a Comprehensive Peace Plan for Iraq and withdraw ALL U.S. troops and mercenaries from Iraq.
The new Obama-Biden Administration must hear from the people now! You are encouraged to write to the White House to let President Barack Obama know that real change in Iraq is a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq (not just a drawdown of forces to then be sent to Afghanistan). Write to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/
Aid for Iraqis ~ Your support is needed
The Declaration of Peace is partnering with two organizations providing desperately needed medical aid and materials to Iraqis: Direct Aid Iraq and Iraqi Health Now. Help support their work with your donation now!
